Reduced manual work and built reliable real-time collaboration with serverless messaging
I love Ably for its advanced pub/sub messaging capabilities, which help us with messaging Delta Compression, allowing us to send only changes from previous messages instead of entire payloads every time. For example, if I have to say 'hi', instead of sending the whole payload, it only sends the change in the current payload, reducing bandwidth consumption and enabling high-frequency data streaming. This major change has made our clients really happy as they receive notifications and messages without latency. Additionally, if a client goes offline, Ably stores messages in history for up to 72 hours, allowing clients to query history and catch up on missed events, ensuring complete stream continuity. It also supports multi-protocol, using WebSockets and gracefully falling back to server-sent events and long polling as needed, including support for MQTT and IoT devices along with pub/sub control for easy migration.I appreciate the serverless integration that has the integrated native web hook, instantly triggering serverless functions such as AWS Lambda and Azure Function when specific real-time events occur. It also allows Kafka Connector for seamless ingestion of messages from Kafka topics to stream them out to millions of users in milliseconds.

Hands-on cloud labs have transformed my training and save hours on every learning project
The best features CloudLabs offers, in my opinion, include being cloud-based and accessible from anywhere, which eliminates the need for local installation. It is cost-effective, and unlike other training platforms that focus solely on teaching, CloudLabs provides hands-on learning in a realistic environment that is easy for anyone to understand. Additionally, it has progress tracking for monitoring my completion and assignments that are designed as small tests after modules, which are optional. The hands-on learning feature in CloudLabs is exceptional compared to other platforms where learning is primarily theoretical, with trainers explaining concepts. CloudLabs provides labs integrated with GCP, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, allowing users to create their own work in a cloud environment without needing local installation. For example, I created multiple agents that interacted with each other all within the cloud environment. CloudLabs has positively impacted my organization by allowing everyone to get hands-on training. Without CloudLabs, we could only do training without practical experience. Now, I gain hands-on experience without significant installations on my systems, enhancing the knowledge of my teammates and everyone in my organization. It has also reduced hardware costs, which is a beneficial aspect.
